1. State the problem: Is the type of employment associated with age/

2. Hypotheses:
HO: The type of employment is independent with age.
H1: The type of employment is dependent with age.
3. Level of significance= 0.05
4. Decision Rule:
Reject HO if computed x2 > tabular x2
Reject H1 if computed x2 < tabular x2
5-6. Refer to the table above
7. Degrees of freedom= (r-1)(c-1) =(5-1)(3-1) =(4)(2) Df=8 Tabular:15.507
8. Compare the computed x2 and tabular x2 computed x2 > tabular x2 293.2>15.507
9. Decision: Reject the null hypothesis
10. Conclusion: There is enough evidence to support the claim that type of employment is
dependent with age.
